ABBOTT opened 'the case, by stating that this was an indittment against the defendant, charging him with writing and publithing certain libels on Lord dastlefreagh, to which he had 14eaded not • guilty. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL then detailed the case for the ,prosecution. He began by. reading the letter ,of Peter Finnerty, which appeared in the Morning Clzronicle of the 23d January last, where in kionerty accuSrs Lord Castlereagh of. i,suing an order- presenting his accompanying the' Waicheren Expedition, helm vindictive and personal motives, and traces a persecuting spirit in his Lordship against, him (Finnerty) up to certain proceedings in Ireland in the year 1797, relative to Will;am Oar, assuming that the execution of Orr was in truth no other than a legal murder, committed by Lord Castlereagh in his. Administration of the Goverivitent of Ireland, and after readi6g the letter, the' Leaf lied Counsel stated . that Finnerty had been prosecuted tor the libel therein contained, and after having pleaded not guil ty, had yesterday withdrawn his plea and Rittered judgment against him to go by default. The Learned Coun,el then went . on to - state the three libels published . by the defendant, which were as follow Mr. FINNERTY and Lord C A sTLER GH,. —British Forum, No. 33, Bedford-street, Covent-Garden, Monday, Jan. 29, 18zo.

The statement respecting the execution of William Uri, in Ireland, Under the administration or the Noble Lout, although incontestible evidence 'was laid before him, pioving his innocence, was read from Mr. Finnerty's letter, and excited in the audience visi ble emotions of horror and disgust. Early attendance.is ear nestly requested. It being an adjourned question, any Gen tlernan will be at liberty to resume the debate. " Last-Monday, after. two evenings discuSsion, a croWded assembly unanimously decided, that " Lord Castlereagh's' conduct towards Mr. Finnerty, ought to be reprobated, as a flagrant infringement upon a British subject, and a Cowardly act of oppression against an innocent individual." ' " In -consequence of Mr. Finnerty being detained at the House of Cthrnons, lie was unable to attend until late in. the evening, when, to-the universal satistadion of a most respettableauciience, he eatered the room, and delivered a I most animated statement of the proceedings at lValcheren, and the colidud of Lord Castlereagh. It is unnecessary to add, that Mr. Finnerty experienced theinost flattering and unequivocal proofs or public approbation, while, on the eon ' t rary , nut a band 'w4, teld up in kis Lordship's defence. " Thus has been furnished a memorable and striking in stance of the folly and inutility at attempting, at least in this country, to' oppress and bear ,down an innocent individual ! • By this dicus.ion, virtue and independence have received their • 'just and adequate reward, while pride add arrogance have been humbled to the dust The Managers .enjov„a hearttelr ,satistadion in thus announcing the decision, and`feel consci-• :oils that they. have done their duty." • The ATTORNEY-GENERAL then commented upon the libellous tendency of these publications, in the course of which he said necessary for me to state to you,' 'that , although these acts are imputed to Lord-Castlereagh, the order for removing Mr. Finnerty from Walcheren did. not originate with Lord Castlereagh, but with others. Lord Castle reagh had no*knowledge of the fact until e heard of it at Deal, and after a - report was made that the order had been ineffectual; and that Mr., Fin nerty had been landed at Walcheren, b e then (as was his duty to do) sent a similar order to Lord Chatham. .Gentlemen, with respeeit to all the pro ceedings which are stated to have taken place in lie:. land, they took,place in the year 1797, before Lord Castlereagh was Secretary of State they took place under Lord Pelham. Whatever passed upon the sub ject of Mr. Orr, paSsed between my Lord. Pelham and the then Lord Lieut. of Ireland, Lord Camden, with Which Lord Castlereagh had nothing to do. It is but justice, however, to the Government of Ireland,,to siate,that no case ever underwent and moteseri o us and at ten tive consideration than that of Mr.W. Orr, and so far from being true was it, that the recommendation to mercy was supported by Lord Yelverton, who tt ied it ; that when Lord Yerverton passed sentence upon Mr. Orr, he cantiontd him against entertaining any hopes of a mitigation of that sentence; and when the case was referred•to Lord Yelverton, as such cases' al wAys are, by the Government of this orthat country, where an application is made for mercy, LordYelver ton stated himself to be perfectly satisfied with the verdict, and fully convinced of the prisoner's guilt, and upon that report'of Lord Yelverton the prisoner was executed. I state this, Gentlemen, from a reference I have had, to authoritative public documents, and, therefore,' I know it to be true." Attorney- General concluded by saying, th a t Lord Castlereagh was iii attendance to obey the call of the clefendaat. WitneSses were then. called to prove the case for 4te'prosecution, after which Mr, JONES addressettthe Jury on the part the defendant, That the Jury, might not entertain any idea that he f e lt a particular Affection or was other wise interested in any uncommon degree for the defendant,' he thought it but praper to state, that he did not stand towards the defendant in the re lation of a brother or of any other near connedion. The defendant belonged' to Middlesex, he (the Learned Codnsel)" was a native of Carmartherashite, in Wales. The Defendant however, he knew to be a mazeof virtue, and every man of that descrip tion he should al way; be' pi - ond td reckon as his brother. 'lt was only last night that the Del( ndant - had come to him, and requested of hini to under take his defence to-day. He felt extremely embir raSsed how to proceed. The defendant he knew to he a:man of extraordinary abilities in the public line in which he aded, and he knew him- also to be adorned with every domestic and pri, ate virtue, • though not possessed of fortitude enough to with-, stand the attacks of the designing. It was, there= fore, with extreme reludance that with his slender , abilities; and still more slender praOice; he under took the defence of such . a man.---a When the de fendant called on tl - e Learned Counsel he informed him that he had been advised eo ,withdraw his plea,- - The Learned Counsel asked the defendant if he felt conscious of guilt ? He told him he did not, and the Learned Council advised him, that mil) such a feel ing it would be improper in him to plead guilty. If ' there Was . any error in this he hoped it might be at tributed, as it justly ought - , to him, and not to his clent.. The British Forum wee a place where-sub jeiSts were to be discussed, nut one , where error or improper conduct was attributed to any man without a fair discussioo, how, ter it • might be so attributed with justice. Lord Castlereagh', therefore, in hav ing his condo& sunjeded to examination or discus sion at the British Ferum,' was not more exposed to censure than he might have, been entitled. to praise and approleatiop. It was not any thing in • the condo& of Lord Castlereagh,_ which, in the lahguage of the advertisement, was said to have oc cisidned " astonishment and alarm ;" it wag the statement of Mr. Eneerty, which was clearly Meant to have excited .these feelings: It • was said that this debate at - the British Forum was something like a trial pt Lord Castlereagh. • To -this he could not agree - 5 At.was,. indeed, a trial ofskill in ,argu ment, and at such schools, he could strew, if ne cessari,. that some of tt,e first me n o f tin: age had received, the rudiments of that education which ,had concluded thendb their inture erectness. It there had been an Attorney-General. appointed to prose cute, and a person' also named to condUCt the de fence, that .might, be .said to be. a trial, hut' here there was• no such thing. It .was alsO complained that' the . people were here said . to . have been out raged- and insulted. Lord Castlereagh, it was to he el e . served, was not the most fortunate man in the woe Id, as to , public opinion. If. the defendant had been obYiged to . sell seats in his Forum at one shilling a. pre6e; - p* - tice, hich - the Attorney-yeueral seemed not to think strictly hononrabiee some re ports as to the selling oi `seats of a different descrip- , Lion had 'unfortunately got afloat, .not highly cre elitatle to Lord Castlereagh. That the pubhi might,. in this sense, be said to:have their feelings outraged and insulted, he presumed to think, could not be supposekiailying the matter too far, ,4 t . the - tiine • the defeinfaereeiasued ttie pleconiti in. question, he was suffering as a prisoner within the four wails of his room in Newgate. f.;>rd Cdsalereagh- had resigned hiS seat as a Cabinet Minister, and the unfer tunate defendant had been obliged to resigtehis rpm mane! as head of the debates at the British Forum. Wonld it not,. therefore,. in such circumstances, have been more Magnanimous in Lord Castlereagh to have overlooked the present attack, and , not to have. offered th e ki c k .c f an ,outraged ass against the head' of an expiring - lion'? The two parties, Mr. Finnerty add Lord Casqereagh; seemed 'to have old quarrels to adju s t. Why did they, riot go to their Own country t o settle them ? or, why did they not go, not as enemies, but as friends, to Watcheren, where, fike Don Quixotic and Sancho Pancha, they would, instead of windmills, have had to encounter plague, peStilence, and famin'e ? - The nature of libels had been very differently conceived at different times, and in many instances the darkness of the libel,' and the difficulty of discovering the author, was esteemed to be the 'aggravated part of the of • Here, however, there was nothing dark or difficult to' find out. As to the British Forum, the Attorney General had not treated it with unbecom ing severity, and therefore he should say nothing about it.' He begged leave, however; to repeat a fewewords which.tiad been remarked to him, while at 'the University 'of - Keil, in Holstein, in the - North Of Germany. His Learned Friend, Professor. Oliva rius, had on one occasion asked him what he thought was the grand cause why in Great Britain liberty flourished in so much greater perfection than in any other part of the world ? He answered, " In con sequence of the liberty of the press." This the Pro fessor denied, instancing the immense stamps with- which theproduelions flowing frOm the press were, loaded, as .a great drawback on the, bleSsings which tt was 'calculated to produce; together with the pe nalties which occasionally occer. He then men tioned' Debating Societies as being the cause of this superior degree of liberty ; to which the Professor as sented, deelarinelhat it was to t his little Parliament, established, as it were, in the house of eve, y Eng lishman; that we principally owed our abet ties, and that so long as that system existed ire Great Britain, its liberties must, always remain secure. He con jured the Gentlemen of the Jury to weigh well their verdid. AccordiOe as they judged wou ld t h ey b e judged by the Judge of all inen. The person who had been silty of the original and only libel ou Lord Castleteagh had pleaded guilty; the present defendant 'was conscious of no guilt-41e entreated, therefore, ;that the Jury would not sutler the guilt of him, who had acknowledged his crime; to fall on the defendant, who was unconscious of any offence. Lord ELLENIicIROUGH. Gentlernen of the Jury—This is an 'lndlclment against the defendant, John' Gale, Jones, and it charges, that before the time of 'the printing a certain libel, :Lord Castle- . reagh had been one of the principal Secretaries Of State of his Majesty; and, Gentlemen, there is an• other allegation, that there had been, on the 23d of January, a scandalous and seditious libel, in the form of &letter, concerning Lot d Castlereagh, published in a certain Newspaper called 7 he-Moraiiig ,Chro= nick. That allegation involveS, first of all, thGt t • and next the coestruaion ;. first, the faet, that there ,was such a letter published in the paper. That hap been proved by the Printer of 'the paper, who. pro e duces a paper, which he statea-te h ive been pub : fished on that day; containieg a lent!. sigcea P. Finnerty. Teen has that letter the - quality a sexed to it. It is alleged to be a scandalous and tual;:ions libel'. That certainly is a material allegation. The whole scope of that which has been read in deeiii to you from The :Limning Chronicle does impute 16 Lord Castlereagh the purpose of persecutiug and op-, pressing'iles mare; sulmning it up ia the last para. , graph, i hat - he had made use of his Ministerial ; • power, to g !at ity ejechce, to invite the pers:•cution of his peison,and to frx an impufatibn neon his Cie:. railer, and the '.t.hole (if thestatement whieh.is con tallied in the letter, goes to maintain that, which 41, the smut - Meg- up or the libel is statA to be the in tive for Castiereagh's concluel. Geotletnen; there certainly can bienothing to ore.libelloiis, than 1 to iniptite•to a man au a high public Office a grocti ' abuse of .his public :unctions ; to degrade and injure I aft individuel. The question, therefore, neon' this e.part of the case beieg, whether thisletter has pro- perle applied to it the description of a scandalous and • i malicious linel, the description is mainenned by ,d-; vesting to. the terms of the letter itself. B ut t h a t '1 is mer e ly a preliininlry step, for it is licit the publieaa tion of this libel for which the defeelanteindieted but he has adverted to it in the three ;i, tor which immediately he is questiened, fuel it s to Those papers and the contents of them thai you+ at- Itention is to be particularly !:a vein inaSinuce as it is iu respect orthetn only (reterence being made to other matters merely for expianationY that he seendi before you to-day. The publ'eetieos in question are three in ttntri.`• ber ; the '9 tiehi whether they are of a IR:whet's nature, and 'weedier that description which is ap plied tothem• by tills indictment is justly applicable to them. I will read then) and comment upon thein as I read them. The first begins thus, Otee,ht my Lord Castleteagh's conduct towards Fionerty during the late expedition to Walcheren to be ap . proved as . a salutary measure of precaution, to pre serve order and, discipline among his Majesty 44 fevers, or reprobated as a flagrant iiifringement ; upon the liberty of a' British 'subject, and a coward ; 11 ' act of oppression against an - innocent Now, Gentlemen, is it co be borne in a country where people eny estimation of character, that it shall be allowed to any man to put iu thiS alter native mode a question tor the discussion of all man kind,, whether a man lias been guilty o f a base aird cowardly act of oppression, whether.he has not been guilt)' or an eretrusous crime, and to have that mat ter made the subject of d , bate by all persons who may cheose to pay one shilengao come w Writ' the precineis of the pace of'assembly where tlUs is the appeined mat ter bt debate ? Is is not c,altimeious to any individual to.i.ave his name held out to the public as that of a person *respecting whom, it may fairly be doubted - whether he has not been guilty' of a cowardly set of oppression ? Put it to your own 'breasts; Gentlemen,' and make it your own case ; suppese a man-to pick up an anecdote of y our pri 'vale concluet, any thing respeCting your conduct iri• social life, and that he shoula publish itas a question whether in a particular circuinstence of your life you had been guilty of a base disregard of 'your duty to wife, to child, to friend, or any other per Son, and should make that. a matter of discussion for all the assembled careless people who' might chooSe to re sort together for the purpose either of fielding or of ' bearing that discussion—can any thing heconsider ed as more calumnious, more clesiruelit e of the peace of mind of the individual so held out, more mis chievous to the public, or more irritating to the feel ings of the individual so held up ? Taking only in' lirnine the first paragraph, I feel mystlf,•in the so lemn discharge of my importanefunet ions, bound by the oath of office I have taken, and by my duty to, the public, to state to you, that I consider this as a highly calumnious publication. • • Then, Gentlemen, it goes on to say, " The statement Of Mr. Finnerty's treatment by Lord Castlereagh ; as it appeared in the Morning Chronicle of Tuesday, the 23d instant, has been read with • the most lively emotions, and has excited' universal astonishment and alarm ;"—alluding - all along to the publication of Mr. Finnerty 'in the, Morning Chronicle, which has been read to you.—Mr. Fin. nerty has 4pealed to the good sense, liberality, and justice of the British Nation, to give their decided opinion on - the subjeCt. "So far as the British Fo rum can lend its aid towards colleCting and proclaim ing that opinion, neither his appeal, nor that of any other persecuted or defenceless individual shall be made in vain."—ls not this art allegation, that this person.to, whom ther are lending their aid, is a persecuted and defenceless individual, and by whom persecuted, the whole scope and context shews clear ly that it means to impute that persecution to Lord Casileeeagh'? Then it goes on—" If the gentle . Lords Castlereagh can muster sufficient confidence , to venture into a publi c assem bl y of free and in deOendent Englishmen."—That is an imputation to say that' be is a person who cannot venture into a public assembly pt fr ee and independent English men.—" He may rest assured, that -he shall have fair play."— Nuw see hoiv"this word of promise • to the ear is kept.—" There is nothing for which the Managers if this Institution more ardentlydong, than, an opportunity oftneetinghis Lordship and - 'his adherent's fate to, face, and hearing them vindi cate their character and condua betore an outraged' and insulted country."—G ent l emen is that a fair trial,' to , tell his lehrdship that there is an outraged and insultedcountiy, w hick the context strew; must mean outraged and insulted bAint ; and to say, we will give you fair play by your coming before those whom you have outraged and insulted ? 11, is, I , iapossible to state any' thing to be a libel it this is.not.
